A free trial would be nice too before shelling nearly £60!

Yep, trial would be good!

Upload a video once any of you guys have downloaded so we can see if it's any good.

Re: Sygic announces world-wide turn-by-turn navigation for Maemo

If they would only have the US Version up as well :(
But I guess their server would completely collaps at that time. Let's hope it's coming
soon.
And THUMBS UP to sygic not waiting for Ovi any longer.

Re: Sygic announces world-wide turn-by-turn navigation for Maemo

The Sygic server seems down. Download has crashed.. :confused:

Update : back again, I have to download it again now from the beginning...

Re: Sygic announces world-wide turn-by-turn navigation for Maemo

The price is fine. I've bought TomTom (twice) before.

I'll hold back a little bit though until I see those reviews by you guys.. :)
I'm particularly interested in

a) Reviews by folks who are familiar with TomTom
b) Can Sygic use an external BT GPS instead of the built-in one? My Holux is just so much better than the built-in chip.

I already asked about this to Sygic technical support and they said the maps are different between Symbian and Maemo version.

Yes, a Sygic employee mentioned the trial at this same thread, but maybe their plans changed due to Ovi Store delays...

Re: Sygic announces world-wide turn-by-turn navigation for Maemo

Nice! unfortunately it looks like Sygic's website is hosted on an IBM XT pc machine, with a whopping 128kb memory and connected to the internet with a 14400 bps modem, as the thing is CRAWLING slower than a snail...

On another note - does anyone knows if its possible to download and install the application itself, and download the map separately? Sygic's site doesn't specify any map for Israel, though I know it exist as its available for S60 phones in Israel...

It was a proud day indeed when I got that Smokin' AT with the 2400 bps modem. I still get a little verklempt when I reminisce about it!

After the OVI maps debacle on the N900, I'm adopting a try before I buy attitude RE navigation SW.

Re: Sygic announces world-wide turn-by-turn navigation for Maemo

I have contacted Sygic, they are changing the server these days, in order to provide better experience with downloads. This means that I'll wait until tomorrow with download.

Re: Sygic announces world-wide turn-by-turn navigation for Maemo

wait. we first wait month to release the sw. when the sw is out we laugh at the users trying to dl the sw from our slow servers. when they tried several times without success we changing the servers a day after release.

Why not do that before?????

then you can't buy it from ovi store either, as it's also only supporting credit cards...
paypal would have been so much nicer...
